My child is in an IP school - can we apply?

IP Year 1–4 students are covered under the CDAC–SFCCA Secondary Bursary (S$480), not this primary guide. See the CDAC Secondary Bursary page.

Is PCI or GHI the binding income cap?

Either measure can qualify you - if your GHI ≤ S$4,800 or your PCI ≤ S$1,400, you meet the income criterion. You only need to satisfy one of the two.

We're PR, not SC. Are we eligible?

Yes, Chinese PRs are eligible as long as the student or at least one parent holds PR status.

When will the 2026 window open?

CDAC has not published the 2026 dates as of March 2026. Bookmark cdac.org.sg/cdac-sfcca-bursary and check periodically - CDAC typically announces via its website and school circulars.

Can we apply for both the CDAC bursary and MOE FAS in the same year?

Yes. MOE FAS and the CDAC–SFCCA Bursary are administered separately and can be held concurrently. Apply for FAS through the school and for CDAC through myCDAC. For a full walkthrough of national assistance that complements this bursary, see our MOE Financial Assistance Scheme guide - it covers textbook subsidies, transport support, and how schools process concurrent applications.
